I love these so-called prognosticators I just wish somebody can bring collect and post all their bad predictions.
I remember Magic around mid January announcing that the Lakers DEFINITELY will NOT make the playoffs.

Given everything that had happened, I couldn't blame Magic. All the injuries, all the controversy between player vs player and player vs coach. Then the firing of a coach during the season. all of that was not something that would positively impact a team.

But we have Kobe Bryant. Thats what Magic and these other "experts" keep forgetting.
